In children with cerebral palsy aged 8-12 years, what is the effect of an 8-week physiotherapy and motivational interviewing intervention delivered to the child and their primary caregiver, as compared to a wait-list control receiving usual care, on child participation in active leisure and sports, and habitual physical activity levels?

•Participants are children with a diagnosis of Cerebral Palsy (GMFCS I-III, confirmed by the Child’s Paediatrician, Rehabilitation Physician, or Neurologist), aged between 8 and 12 years inclusive. The primary residence of the child during the study period is within 200kms of South Brisbane, Queensland.
•Each included child’s primary caregiver (one person who has a long-term parenting role including a biological parent, step parent, adoptive parent or foster parent AND has at least 30% of caregiving responsibilities) is also a participant.

•Children are excluded if they:
•(1) Have limited ability to communicate insight into a preferred future (needs, wants and desires) in spoken English AND/OR through an interpreter or augmentative and alternative communication (i.e. Communication Function Classification System levels IV-V and/or children with moderate to severe intellectual disability)
•(2) Have uncontrolled epilepsy (as this may impact on safety to engage in certain physical activities)
•(3) Have a severe visual impairment or blindness (defined as 6/60 vision or lower, when appropriately corrected, in the better eye, or in the written opinion of an ophthalmologist the cortical visual impairment, visual field loss and/or other deficits result in a combined approximate acuity of 6/60 or lower)
•(4) Have severe asthma exacerbated by exercise that is not controlled with medications under an asthma management plan
•(5) Have orthopaedic and/or neurological surgery 6 months prior to and/or planned during the entire study period including follow-up assessments. Intramuscular botulinum toxin (BoNT-A) injections in the lower limbs and some minor surgeries may not automatically exclude entry
•Caregivers are excluded if they:
•(1) Have a diagnosed moderate to severe intellectual disability or significant communication impairment
